M3f3 uses FilmFreeway exclusively to manage submission. Use the button below to access the FilmFreeway site to submit your film.

Youth Movies

Movies predominantly made by youth (Pre-K to Grade 12) have an 100% discount. Yes, they are Free! Use the coupon ‘Youth’ when submitting your movie.

Student Movies

Movies made by students (18 years or older and in full-time education) have a 50% discount. Use the coupon ‘M3F3Student2018’ when submitting your movie, and remember to include your current student ID with the documentation.

Previous Submitters

Movie-makers who have previously submitted to M3F3 can use the coupon provided to them previously to obtain a 25% discount.

Why are there ANY Submission Fees?

This is a low-cost festival to enter, and it is one of the reasons we do not waive fees! We charge fees to cover the costs of staging the festival and for prizes.

Deadlines

Three deadlines are in place:

1st September 2019: ‘Early Bird’, to encourage early submissions (so we can plan the schedule);

29th September 2019: ‘Regular’, still gives us time to plan the schedule;

19th October 2019: ‘Final’, for which we’ll charge extra.

Judging Criteria

Film will be judged on the following criteria:

Originality & Creativity

Direction

Writing
